The NHL and ESPN are in discussions about bringing the league's games back to ESPN2 as soon as the 2008-09 season. Multiple sources described the conversations as preliminary. The two started talking the week of July 16 when the NHL approached ESPN about NBC's nine-game regular-season schedule, plus the playoffs. NBC holds the rights to air the coming season as part of a revenue-sharing agreement, and the network holds a one-year option for the 2008-09 season. -- Sports Business Journal

Why would they do that? They should stay on NBC if NBC will have them. Even for a few less bucks, it will be better for the league in the long term.
